There is no $100 game
There is no collector's edition of the game itself. The foil texture is the first-print box, not a separate SKU. Retailer gifts, covered on the preorder page, are shop promotions. A $100 listing needs an item-by-item check: the special controller is $99.99, while the themed console itself is $519.99 before the separately sold game.
Gaming Hybrid saw Amazon and Walmart dip the physical copy to $59.88 for a window. I record that as a past sale, not a promise that the button still says 59.88. The UK and euro figures live on the language buy pages so this table stays in dollars.
Questions
Which one should I buy?
Digital if you want the lower price and you have the storage. Cartridge if you want a full card you can lend or resell.
Do you ship copies?
No. Buy from Nintendo or a retailer.
